⚫ | {{Scroll-1|content='''Abed Nadir''' is a graduate of [[Greendale Community College]]. Abed had a difficult life growing up, due in part to his parents. His father is a Palestinian from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza Gaza] and his mother [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_american Polish American], which was a source of cultural discord. Abed has an undiagnosed psychological condition which makes it hard for him to understand people. His mother left his family when he was 6 years old and Abed assumed his [[Gubi Nadir|father]] blamed him for it. This created distance between them and resulted in Abed alienating himself further by immersing himself in American pop-culture. His father allowed him to enroll at [[Greendale Community College]] only so he could take classes which would help Abed one day take over his dad's falafel restaurant. Eventually Abed convinced his father to let him study Film making instead. During this time he grew close to a [[study group]] he joined, particularly [[Troy Barnes]] who became his best friend and roommate. After four years at school he graduated with a film degree but was unable to find work as a filmmaker besides doing a commercial for Jeff's short lived law firm. After an unexpected reunion with his study group at Greendale, Abed decided to re-enroll in order to learn how to work better with people. He and his study group also joined a special "[[Save Greendale Committee]]" tasked with improving the school. After his sixth year at school he got a job in California working on a television show. |

+ | | style="border:0px solid black;" |It is hinted that Abed has Asperger's syndrome, reflected in his inability to pick up on social or emotional cues {{Source|Pilot}}. Abed is quite intelligent, fluent in three languages (English, Polish and Arabic) and possesses keen observational skills. He often accurately predicts other people's behaviours {{source|Debate 109}} although it's shown he is not infallible {{source|Virtual Systems Analysis}}. He'll draw connections to real life situations through pop culture and meta references gained after years of watching TV and movies {{source|Pilot}}. However, he has problems understanding emotions and has a particular difficulty with sarcasm {{source|Accounting for Lawyers}}. He is surprisingly athletic {{source|The Politics of Human Sexuality}}, a skilled dancer {{source|Interpretive Dance}}, and a good singer/rapper {{source|Somewhere Out There}}, {{source|Spanish Rap}}. Besides his love of filmmaking, Abed also likes to indulge in role-play and often assumes different characters from various genres of entertainment. Occasionally he'll go [[Evil Abed|too far]] in these roles which has threatened his friendship with [[Troy]] {{source|Contemporary Impressionists}} and the rest of the [[study group]] {{source|Contemporary American Poultry}}. He states his religion to be Islam {{source|Comparative Religion}} although he doesn't follow the strict tenets of his faith {{source|Mixology Certification}}. Even with his eccentricities, Abed has been shown to be very attractive to women {{source|Physical Education}}, {{source|The Art of Discourse}} and claims to have made out with the prettiest girl on campus {{source|The Art of Discourse}}. After Britta has him and the study group take a personality test {{source|Competitive Ecology}}, the results suggested that he is the sanest member of the group {{source|Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps}}. |

− | |text =In his first year at Greendale, Abed introduced himself to Jeff and provided him detailed information not only about himself but also their Spanish 101 classmate [[Britta Perry]]. Abed is later asked by Britta to join her and Jeff for what they believed to be a Spanish study group. He in turn invited a number of other students from their class and the [[study group]] was born. Abed was enrolled in business and restaurant management classes to take over his fathers Falafel restaurant, despite his desire to take film classes and become a director. Britta convinced Abed to pursue his dreams of making movies and he switched his major to film. His father Gubi disapproved until he viewed a short film Abed made and was moved by how he was finally able to express himself. Aside from his filmmaking abilities, Abed also makes a name for himself on campus by orchestrating a [[Chicken Fingers]] syndicate and acquitting himself quite well during the schools annual [[Paintball Assassin]] game. Throughout the semester he becomes close to [[Troy]] and by the end of the year they became the best of friends. After Troy is kicked out of his dad's house, he tried to suggest to Abed that he move into his [[Abed's dorm room|dorm room]]. Abed refuses stating it would be too much of a strain on their relationship. Although disappointed, Troy ultimately sees the wisdom of Abed's decision and moves in with Pierce instead. |

− | |text =Abed's third year at school sees him moving into an apartment with Troy. When his favorite TV show went on hiatus, Britta introduced him to "[[Inspector Spacetime]]" which becomes his latest pop culture fixation. A house warming party for his new apartment had him imagining various scenarios including a dark reality with which he becomes obsessed. It also leads to Abed inviting Annie to move in with him and Troy. A psychology test he took suggested he might be the sanest one in the study group, but his actions the rest of the year prove otherwise. His addiction to [[The Doppel Gang|celebrity impersonators]] puts him in debt and causes a rift with Troy. This comes to a head when they have a disagreement over the creation of a new [[Fluffy Town]] fort. Although Jeff helped resolve the conflict, Abed feared Troy's budding romance with Britta might also tear them apart. However, a bigger concern arises after the study group is expelled from school thanks to Chang. Eventually he and the group are reinstated at school but not without losing Troy to the [[Greendale Air Conditioning Repair School]]. This causes Abed to retreat into his fantasies via "[[The Dreamatorium]]" and assume the identity of "[[Evil Abed]]". A "[[Winger speeches|Winger speech]]" snaps him out of his delusion. Abed is then reunited with Troy, who managed to free himself from his obligations to the AC school. |

Abed reluctantly agreed to shoot a film using unused footage of Chang, who had briefly become an Internet sensation. During production he learned about Jeff's growing depression about his friends leaving him behind. While on a road trip with the committee, Abed envisioned several flashback scenarios he wished could have happened. Later, Abed filmed Garrett's proposal to his girlfriend [[Stacy Lambert|Stacy]] and then for his own personal amusement documented the committee attending the wedding. He competed in a secret campus paintball game and worked with the committee to find out who has organized the contest. At the end of the year Abed announced his summer plans to work as a production assistant on a new TV show. When it was time for him to go, Jeff drove him to the airport along with Annie who had a summer internship at the FBI. |

Their many misadventures at Greendale dragged their friends, and sometimes the rest of the school, into their hijinks. Since Abed is unable to adequately express emotion and Troy is overly emotional this has led to a few conflicts between them. This doesn't last long as they understand they are better together than apart. In the group's fifth year at school, Troy accepted an amazing opportunity but was forced to leave Greendale because of it. Abed had trouble saying goodbye to his best friend, but eventually let him go. They shared one last adventure at school before he departed. |

Although Jeff is annoyed at times by Abed's constant pop culture referencing, he respects his opinions and sees value in his observations. After a [[Contemporary American Poultry|brief falling out happened]] between them, Jeff agreed to help Abed with his problem of connecting with others as long as Abed helps him try to treat them right. Both value their friendship with each other and Abed even created an [[Critical Film Studies|elaborate deception]] one time to maintain it. Jeff later gives an emotional farewell to Abed when he accepts a summer internship. |

He engaged in more role-playing in his newly created play room called [[The Dreamatorium]] and ran up a high tab hiring celebrity impersonators to take part in his activities. He eventually admitted to having problems and needing therapy. Abed asked Britta, who had declared psychology as her major, to help him. |

This hasn't stopped her from trying to convert the others and one time she tried to baptize Abed while he was in a catatonic state. She and Abed did manage to come to an understanding on their different beliefs when he filmed a religious viral video for her church.

Although Abed has trouble expressing his feelings he did tell Pierce at one point that he hated him for ruining the American version of Inspector Spacetime. After Pierce died, Abed was bequeathed a [[Liquid nitrogen cooled cylinder|canister of his sperm]].

Bio
|
|
Personality
It is hinted that Abed has Asperger's syndrome, reflected in his inability to pick up on social or emotional cues ("Pilot"). Abed is quite intelligent, fluent in three languages (English, Polish and Arabic) and possesses keen observational skills. He often accurately predicts other people's behaviours ("Debate 109") although it's shown he is not infallible ("Virtual Systems Analysis"). He'll draw connections to real life situations through pop culture and meta references gained after years of watching TV and movies ("Pilot"). However, he has problems understanding emotions and has a particular difficulty with sarcasm ("Accounting for Lawyers"). He is surprisingly athletic ("The Politics of Human Sexuality"), a skilled dancer ("Interpretive Dance"), and a good singer/rapper ("Somewhere Out There"), ("Spanish Rap"). Besides his love of filmmaking, Abed also likes to indulge in role-play and often assumes different characters from various genres of entertainment. Occasionally he'll go too far in these roles which has threatened his friendship with Troy ("Contemporary Impressionists") and the rest of the study group ("Contemporary American Poultry"). He states his religion to be Islam ("Comparative Religion") although he doesn't follow the strict tenets of his faith ("Mixology Certification"). Even with his eccentricities, Abed has been shown to be very attractive to women ("Physical Education"), ("The Art of Discourse") and claims to have made out with the prettiest girl on campus ("The Art of Discourse"). After Britta has him and the study group take a personality test ("Competitive Ecology"), the results suggested that he is the sanest member of the group ("Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps"). |
